Beyond the Mainstream: The Allure of Mattel’s Basic Dino Value Line

Mattel’s Basic Dino Value 6 and 12 inch toy line, a discreet yet captivating addition to their basic collection, has quietly carved out a niche for itself among adult collectors. Introduced in 2018 alongside the main Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom line, these action figures offer a refreshingly budget-conscious option without compromising on the charm that makes these Jurassic World collectibles so enthralling.

The Dino Value line’s simplicity is its standout feature, evident in the carefully curated selection of characters and dinosaurs. These figures boast simplified detailing, modest paintwork, and basic articulation – qualities that harken back to old school toys. Yet, don’t let the less elaborate design fool you. Each piece, packaged uniformly in boxes of consistent size, captures the essence of its movie counterpart, allowing collectors to showcase their fascination in a more subtle and refined manner.

In a world where the clamor for the latest and most intricate collectibles often takes center stage, the Dino Value line has quietly garnered attention within the collector community. Its understated appeal has drawn those who recognize that it’s not always about the flashiest features that necessarily add to the joy of collecting.

As the years have passed, Mattel’s commitment to expanding the Dino Value line has been evident. Quite a few figures and dinosaurs have been released so far and more are on their way.

Almost 30 Basic Dino Value toys can now be found in the Jurassic Toys online collection. Check them out below or jump to the online collection here.
